Python for Scientists
The third edition of this practical introduction to Python has been thoroughly updated, with all code migrated to Jupyter notebooks. The notebooks are available online with executable versions of all of the book's content (and more). The text starts with a detailed introduction to the basics of the Python language, without assuming any prior knowledge. Building upon each other, the most important Python packages for numerical math (NumPy), symbolic math (SymPy), and plotting (Matplotlib) are introduced, with brand new chapters covering numerical methods (SciPy) and data handling (Pandas). Further new material includes guidelines for writing efficient Python code and publishing code for other users. Simple and concise code examples, revised for compatibility with Python 3, guide the reader and support the learning process throughout the book. Readers from all of the quantitative sciences, whatever their background, will be able to quickly acquire the skills needed for using Python effectively.

Text Analysis in Python for Social Scientists
Text is everywhere, and it is a fantastic resource for social scientists. However, because it is so abundant, and because language is so variable, it is often difficult to extract the information we want. There is a whole subfield of AI concerned with text analysis (natural language processing). Many of the basic analysis methods developed are now readily available as Python implementations. This Element will teach you when to use which method, the mathematical background of how it works, and the Python code to implement it.

Information Access in the Era of Generative AI
Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) has emerged as a groundbreaking technology that promises to revolutionize many industries as well as people’s personal and professional lives. This book discusses GenAI and its role in information access - often referred to as Generative Information Retrieval (GenIR) - or more broadly, information interaction.The role of GenAI in information access is complex and dynamic, with many dimensions. To address this, following a brief introduction to GenAI and GenIR, the remainder of the book provides eight chapters, each targeting a different dimension or sub-topic. These cover foundations of GenIR, interactions with GenIR systems, adapting them to users, tasks, and scenarios, improving them based on user feedback, GenIR evaluation, the sociotechnical implications of GenAI for information access, recommendations within GenIR, and the future of information access with GenIR.The book is targeted at graduate students and researchers interested in issues of information retrieval, access, and interactions, as well as applications of GenAI in various informational contexts. While some of the parts assume prior background in IR or AI, most others do not, making this book suitable for adoption in various classes as a primary source or as a supplementary material.

Generative AI and Education
This volume addresses the gap in knowledge around generative AI and its applications in education. It draws on the recent history of technological innovation and digital pedagogies, locating generative AI in the contemporary discourse around education futures. It argues that a new hybrid model of education is emerging, requiring educational institutions to embed generative AI into course and programme design, delivery and assessment. It also proposes a shift from a focus on learning as output to learning as a process, and explores what that shift might look like. Grounded in educational theory, it offers actionable pedagogy-informed guidance on how to position AI as a collaborator in the construction of learning in a manner that is congruent with the values and aims of education. It offers advice based on evidence-based digital pedagogy, including frameworks for effective teaching and learning with generative AI, that enable educators and designers to put these ideas into practice.The book also explores the wider context informing this shift, connecting narratives from governments and industry leaders on the strategic importance of generative AI and lifelong learning, learning agility, and future skills that make the case for the integration of competency-based assessment into mainstream education. Finally, going beyond pedagogy and practice, it considers of some of the broader issues, including limitations and ethics, and the implications of integrating generative AI into institutional planning and design, and includes a sample roadmap for education leaders to start the process of integrating generative AI into their institutions.This work approaches the topic of generative AI from the vantage point of educators by addressing themes and concerns that will resonate with professionals in the sector.

Python for Mathematics
Python for Mathematics introduces readers to effective methods for doing mathematics using the Python programming language. Most programming texts introduce readers to the building blocks of programming and build up to using more sophisticated tools for a specific purpose, like doing particular mathematical tasks. This is akin to teaching someone how to forge metal so as to make a nail, and then slowly working up to using sophisticated power tools so as to actually build something. This book does things in a different way, by first getting readers to begin using and understanding the tools that are going to be helpful to them as mathematicians, and only then moving onto the granular details. In this way, the practical application of the tools can aid in the understanding of the theory.Features· Complete with engaging, practical exercises· Many useful and detailed coding examples· Suitable for undergraduates in mathematics, and other quantitative sciences· Empowers readers to design and create their own Python tools.

Hybrid Intelligence
Uniquely aimed at teams that think together to solve problems and make decisions, this book explains how to enhance the collective intelligence of a team-size group and combine it with the artificial intelligence (AI) of generative AI to create a hybrid intelligence that is smarter than either one on its own.Boards, committees, and other team-size groups of 5-20 people are the primary problem-solving and decision-making units within organizations, and they form the bridges between organizations, industries, and nations that collaborate on projects. So how can leaders exponentially improve their teams’ capabilities? Assemble the right people, arm them with the right processes, and execute those processes on the right platforms—then add generative AI to enhance those practices. This book describes and synthesizes various ways of increasing a group’s collective intelligence through people, process, and platform practices, and goes on to explain how to augment the practices with generative AI, including how to ask it questions and what questions to ask to obtain superior answers. The resulting upsurge in team capability enables organizations to survive and thrive in a world that is growing progressively more competitive and complex.This book will become the definitive resource for leaders and managers of commercial, government, and nonprofit organizations who want to learn how to significantly improve their teams’ problem-solving and decision-making ability by increasing their collective intelligence and combining it with the artificial intelligence of generative AI.
